A few years ago, she thought someone had finally come to love her and accepted her unconditionally, but she was wrong. You couldn't really define love with money. It was more than that. ~ Diyar Harraz
Shadow Child quotes by Diyar Harraz
The scar she'd left her was so deep that it may take a thousand million years to heal. She couldn't pretend like nothing had happened. She couldn't shut her feelings, like how you shut a window blind; once you did it, all lights from the outside would be swept away from the room. It had taken her years to acknowledge the fact that she was unwanted; a subject of shame for her mother to sink in. And for sure, it would take her more than nine years to forget it all, in one go. ~ Diyar Harraz
Shadow Child quotes by Diyar Harraz
Let's call me a shadow child, overlooked rather than broken. I'm the teddy bear gathering dust bunnies under the bed, not the one-legged soldier. ~ Dot Hutchison
Shadow Child quotes by Dot Hutchison
It is evil," the Old Wise One said. "For very long we have walked carefree in the only paradise. It would be better if all here were to die." The last Shadow child said firmly, "Nothing is worse than that I should die," and something that had wrapped the world was gone. ~ Gene Wolfe
Shadow Child quotes by Gene Wolfe
As a child he used to wonder why Eve was taken from Adam's rib. Now, at the other end of his life, these decades later, he knows it was because the rib is close to the heart. ~ Nadeem Aslam
Shadow Child quotes by Nadeem Aslam
NEVER EVER STAY IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN. That is the worst thing one can ever do. It is better for a child to live with one Good Parent than two frustrated,screwed up ones. ~ Rachitha Cabral
Shadow Child quotes by Rachitha Cabral
We have our share of accidents at nap time. However, the one thing we never do is shame the child, or use blaming words. ~ Jean Parker
Shadow Child quotes by Jean Parker
God, children know something they can't tell; they like Red Riding Hood and the wolf in bed! ~ Djuna Barnes
Shadow Child quotes by Djuna Barnes
The shadow figures outside. ~ James Patterson
Shadow Child quotes by James Patterson
We come home (aka the parents)... we get angry... we throw it off in home... today... tomorrow and the next few weeks...

...

We feel better, but we don't know what type of damage are we creating within one child. ~ Deyth Banger
Shadow Child quotes by Deyth Banger
The Road is not a record of fatherly fidelity; it is a testament to the abyss of a parent's greatest fears. The fear of leaving your child alone, of dying before your child has reached adulthood and learned to work the mechanisms and face the dangers of the world, or found a new partner to face them with. The fear of one day being obliged for your child's own good, for his peace and comfort, to do violence to him or even end his life. And, above all, the fear of knowing - as every parent fears - that you have left your children a world more damaged, more poisoned, more base and violent and cheerless and toxic, more doomed, than the one you inherited. It is in the audacity and single-mindedness with which The Road extends the metaphor of a father's guilt and heartbreak over abandoning his son to shift for himself in a ruined, friendless world that The Road finds its great power to move and horrify the reader. ~ Michael Chabon
Shadow Child quotes by Michael Chabon
If they learn easily, they are penalized for being bored when they have nothing to do; if they excel in some outstanding way, they are penalized as being conspicuously better than the peer group. The culture tries to make the child with a gift into a one-sided person, to penalize him at every turn, to cause him trouble in making friends and to create conditions conducive to the development of a neurosis. Neither teachers, the parents of other children, nor the child peers will tolerate a Wunderkind. ~ Margaret Mead
Shadow Child quotes by Margaret Mead
When I was pregnant, I wanted to take some time off from acting, but I still needed a creative outlet for myself. My first two books were created during my pregnancies and after giving birth to my first child. ~ Josie Bissett
Shadow Child quotes by Josie Bissett
To kill or to cure?" he said with a sad smile. "We each have our own gifts. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Shadow Child quotes by Leigh Bardugo
He was a shadow rider and that meant no one, 'no one' other than family, and even then close family, could the truth about him. She had to be in completely. Committed to him. ~ Christine Feehan
Shadow Child quotes by Christine Feehan
Every man who walks the earth casts a shadow on the world. Some are thin and weak, others long and dark. You should look behind you, Lord Snow. The moon has kissed you and etched your shadow upon the ice twenty feet tall. ~ George R.R. Martin
Shadow Child quotes by George R.R. Martin
It doesn't matter how your child comes to you. I've never felt such joy and such love. It's the most beautiful delicious little thing. ~ Didi Conn
Shadow Child quotes by Didi Conn
I am old enough to be married twice. I am old enough to be bedded without tenderness or consideration. I am old enough to face death in the confinement room and be told that my own mother
my own mother
has commanded them to save the child and not me! I think I am a woman now. I have a babe in arms, and I have been married and widowed and now bethrothed again. I am like a draper's parcel to be sent about like cloth and cut to the pattern that people wish. My mother told me that my father died by his own hand and that we are an unlucky family. I think I am a woman now! I am treated as a woman grown when it suits you all, you can hardly make me a child again. ~ Philippa Gregory
Shadow Child quotes by Philippa Gregory
How can one explain all the time and thought that goes into raising a child, all the opportunities for mistakes, all the chances to recover and try again? How does one break the news that nothing permanent can be formed in an instant
children are not weaned, potty trained, taught manners, introduced to civilization in one or two tries
as everyone imagined. ~ Mary Blakely
Shadow Child quotes by Mary Blakely
My God - it's a green child!" said the American. "What is this place - the House of Usher? ~ Dodie Smith
Shadow Child quotes by Dodie Smith
The tomato hides its griefs. Internal damage is hard to spot ... ~ Julia Child
Shadow Child quotes by Julia Child
It is still just unbelievable to us that diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world. ~ Melinda Gates
Shadow Child quotes by Melinda Gates
I don't analyze beautiful. I sit in its presence and love the wholeness of it--the sweet and sad and raw and bright together.
Poetry is that, the weaving of light-shadow. Making words from the unwordable. ~ Jacob Nordby
Shadow Child quotes by Jacob Nordby
To me, one of the saddest things in all the life of Jesus Christ was the fact that just before His crucifixion, His disciples should have been striving to see who should be the greatest, that night He instituted the Supper, and they ate the Passover together. It was His last night on earth, and they never saw Him so sorrowful before. He knew Judas was going to sell Him for thirty pieces of silver. He knew that Peter would deny Him. And yet, in addition to this, when going into the very shadow of the cross, there arose this strife as to who should be the greatest. He ~ D.L. Moody
Shadow Child quotes by D.L. Moody
When a child shows up for school, and is not physically and mentally ready to learn, he or she never catches up. ~ C. Everett Koop
Shadow Child quotes by C. Everett Koop
It's not like I wake up every morning and just can't wait to write. It is my job. It's much easier to not write. I'd rather read. This is my income. This is what supports my family. Having a child is a pretty big incentive to keep working. ~ Chevy Stevens
Shadow Child quotes by Chevy Stevens
Once upon a time, when I was a child reading fairy tales, I'd ached to have my own adventures. Not that I'd wanted to be some dippy heroine languishing in a tower, awaiting rescue. No, I'd wanted to be the knight, charging into battle against overwhelming odds, or the plucky country lass who gets taken on as an apprentice to a great wizard. As I got older, I'd found out the hard way that adventures are rarely anything like the books say. Half the time you are scared out of your mind, and the rest you're bored and your feet hurt. I was beginning to believe that maybe I wasn't the adventurous type. ~ Karen Chance
Shadow Child quotes by Karen Chance
I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS, a marriage, and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price. ~ Mika Brzezinski
Shadow Child quotes by Mika Brzezinski
When a school introduces and trains each child of society into membership within such a little community, saturating him with the spirit of service, and providing him with the instruments of effective self-direction, we shall have the deepest and best guaranty of a larger society which is worthy, lovely, and harmonious ~ John Dewey
Shadow Child quotes by John Dewey
God made marriage to point to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Husbands and wives exist to reflect the saving purposes of Christ for his bride, the church. Marriage is an arrow that points to the reality of Christ's love for the church. Marriage is a shadow whose substance is the saving purpose of Jesus. ~ Heath Lambert
Shadow Child quotes by Heath Lambert
The moral, dear child, is that such powers are never to be considered as the main object; it ought in fact to be obvious from the start that any one's True Will must be deeper and more comprehensive than any mere technical achievement. I will go further and say that any such endeavour must be a magical mistake, like cherishing a gun or a clock or a fishing-rod for its own sake, and not for the use that one can make of it. Indeed, that remark goes to the root of the matter; for all these powers, if we understand them properly, are natural by-products of one's real Great Work. My own experience was very convincing on this point; for one power after another came popping up when it was least wanted, and I saw at once that they represented so many leaks in my boat.

And really they are quite a bit of a nuisance. Their possession is so flattering, and their seduction so subtle. One understands at once why all the first-class Teachers insist so sternly that the Siddhi (or Iddhi) must be rejected firmly by the Aspirant, if he is not to be side-tracked and ultimately lost. ~ Aleister Crowley
Shadow Child quotes by Aleister Crowley
When a teacher is paying extra attention to your child, you believe that it's because you raised such an exceptional kid, one that stands out head and shoulders above the rest of her booger-eating friends. ~ Drew Magary
Shadow Child quotes by Drew Magary
There are many controversial issues in contemporary American politics where, in spite of my strong feelings, I have the ability to understand and respect the other side. But the notion that we could ever pretend women have real equality in this country when a man as uninformed about basic reproductive gynecology as Mr. Todd Akin could take away my right to decide whether I want to spend a minimum of eighteen years and an average of $235,000 raising a child - not to mention the significant cost to my own dreams and goals or the myriad ways my child might ultimately suffer for my having been denied the ability to make that choice, the ways so many children suffer every day at the hands of their frustrated, stultified mothers - is an absurdity. ~ Meghan Daum
Shadow Child quotes by Meghan Daum
Enrolling your child in a recreational sport sponsored by your neighborhood recreation community centers is a great way to keep kids active. ~ Lee Haney
Shadow Child quotes by Lee Haney
The line changed my life 'cause I thought of some poor woman I hadn't even met walking around the United States or the world not knowing she's going to be beaten up by me and these kids, unborn, not knowing they were going to be born into the family of a child-beater just because I was. So it really did have a great effect on me. ~ Terry Gross
Shadow Child quotes by Terry Gross
You know, I truly believe adoption is one of the greatest unheralded blessings in the world," she continues, her expression turning earnest. "Think how beautiful it is to give a child a home and to become a family because you choose to! Maybe that's the best way to make a family, don't you think? ~ Kristin Harmel
Shadow Child quotes by Kristin Harmel
Anytime you feel love for anything, be it stone, tree, lover, or child, you are touched by the Goddess's magick ... ~ Cate Tiernan
Shadow Child quotes by Cate Tiernan
Even if you find yourself in a heated exchange with your toddler, it is better for your child to feel the heat rather than for himto feel you withdraw emotionally ... Active and emotional involvement between parent and child helps the child make the limits a part of himself. ~ Stanley Greenspan
Shadow Child quotes by Stanley Greenspan
A man's weakness is his family and a woman's is her child ~ M.F. Moonzajer
Shadow Child quotes by M.F. Moonzajer
Even as a child, I had a sense that I was two people; the one who experienced the trauma, the pain, the happiness, and the other who stood aside and watched with a disinterested ironic eye. ~ P.D. James
Shadow Child quotes by P.D. James
When I was a child I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I have ever dreamed has come true a thousand times. ~ Elvis Presley
Shadow Child quotes by Elvis Presley
Perhaps there is something more than courtesy behind the dissembling reticence of childhood ... Most artists dislike having their incomplete work considered and discussed and this analogy, I think, is valid. The child is incomplete, too, and is constantly experimenting as he seeks his own style of thought and feeling. ~ Dervla Murphy
Shadow Child quotes by Dervla Murphy
I think, as we all learn as a child, you have to learn to tolerate ambiguity better and I'm still terrible at it and I hate it; even the word ambiguity makes me sick to me stomach. ~ John Hodgman
Shadow Child quotes by John Hodgman
Is this a holy thing to see.
In a rich and fruitful land.
Babes reduced to misery.
Feed with cold and usurious hand?

Is that trembling cry a song?
Can it be a song of joy?
And so many children poor?
It is a land of poverty!

Holy Thursday - Songs of Experience ~ William Blake
Shadow Child quotes by William Blake
It was not necessary to leave to learn that. But there were other reasons to go. If a person had a child but no husband, a room but no house, a place but no home, a will but no way, and if a person was losing her son and herself, little by little, day by day, because she knew what she knew in her skin and bones but not what her sister-in-law knew in her books and pamphlets, then yes, it was necessary. ~ Jamie Zeppa
